Wine Rating
 
94
A light, bright red in the glass with beautifully floral aromatics of dried rose petals, red cherry and pepper. This is one of the more interesting textural wines you will have the opportunity to try; there is an initial delicateness of red berry fruits and spice that enjoys a peacocks tail of tannin and acidity that transforms the wine into one of substance and stature before the finish strikes a balance between purity of cherry fruit and peppery fine tannins.

This will live for decades too.
